Oh, Agatha! You are something else!
I admit I was relieved to take a break from James Lacey in this novel. I am beginning to loathe him.

Still though, our Aggie (she hates being called that) continues to pine, and then to tip towards falling for the completely amoral baronet, much to her regret.

But all that is background, right? The main story is the crime at hand and Agatha's determination and, yes, courage, in unraveling it.

I couldn't help but feel, however, that there were a few too many red herrings in this one. Still, though, a fun escape at a time when I have really needed one. ( )

I started this book because my library offered an ebook version in German, and I needed the practice. Turns out the book is flat-out boring, with almost half the book come and gone before the murder even takes place. All this time spent building the characters and I still could not give less of a fuck about who killed the hairstylist or what happens to Agatha's love life. Hard pass.

Come sempre una lettura piacevole e divertente, un perfetto relax per la mente. ( )

While Agatha pines for James, she looks for a distraction in a new case when she decides John the hairdresser is a blackmailer. I'm glad James doesn't appear in the book, after the way he treated Agatha in the last book, I really wish that Agatha would be done with him. But for the plot of the book it does make sense to use James as the reason for Agatha needing a distraction.
Lot's of funny things happen my favorite being while Agatha is being questioned by the police they Bill asks her for the phone book Aggie doesn't want Bill talking to Sir Charles before her so she throws the book out the door, saying she doesn't have one. Then a neighbor rings the bell and complains that the phone book almost hit her little dog, right in front of Bill.
I never put it together that Eve the hairdresser who took over after John, was John's ex-wife and murderer. Lastly the unfeeling Charles makes a good stand-in as a sleuthing partner for Agatha and in the final scene he appears to be trying to make James jealous for Agatha, trying to help her get him back which she clearly wants.

As usual over far too quickly but these are such fun as we watch Agatha go through a delayed adolescence and bumble her way through another murder mystery, this time accompanied by Sir Charles rather than James Lacy. Plenty of slapstick and of course lots of cups of tea with the ever calming Mrs Bloxly. ( )
